Gosh I'm so looking forward to the meet-up too. MANCHESTER I MISS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-- And I have a few friends there now, friends who love a good party, so I'll definitely be able to get some info on what we could get up to in the evenings. >D And of course we'll all have to make a trip to Stockport to the "station"!! And we'll do a small shooting locations tour as well, as Fern mentioned - we've been to quite a lot so far, and we could discover some more next time!
FICATHON YAY!! but omfg 9k?! I look at my measly 2k now and... ahahahah. OH WELL. I really look forward to reading your entry! <3333333333333333 I can't wait for everyone to start posting!
As for the fandom... *HUGSSSSSSSSSS* It has been somewhat dead lately, hasn't it? And I'm sorry you feel disconnected D: I know what you mean with the Sunday chat, it's lost its feeling of... novelty for me too. But on the other hand I'm really really happy to have those who I have in my messengers ; v; I've come to rely on you guys quite a lot... So yeah, I've got you on yahoo now as well, don't I? I won't be online a lot during the next few weeks, but maybe we'll run into each other at some point. At least, I hope we do! <3 I really enjoy talking with you... Watchalong would be fun again, definitely! We just need to finally decide what to actually watch hahah XD There are a few options (A2A and State of Play being the most popular ones I think), so someone would have to ut up a poll or something I think.... But you've already talked about that to Fern, so :D
And lastly - WHOOO CONGRATULATIONS ON PUMPKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN /o/!!!!!!
Just realised that since I'm on my phone right now I can PUMPKIN PUMPKIN PUMPKIN!!!!! >:D
It does seem that the chat suffers a bit poorer attendance when we're between watchalongs. Thinking about seein if people might want to do a short series or a couple one-offs in the coming weeks (don't want to go mad with the holidays coming) and maybe start a new LoM watchalong in the new year
...yeah my phone decided it wanted to post that comment before it was ready lol this thing is evil! ;P
Was going to add that I really like the Sunday chats because it's the only time we get everyone together and I do miss that comradely spirit when the chat sort of just fizzles every week. :/
Apart from that, planning the meetup should be awesome fun!!! Can we go to the craft store and make ourselves a banner that says 'HAPPY MEET-UP RAY YOU POOFTER'? XDDDD
It's odd though, I've been telling a couple of other people that like... when I first joined the chat a year ago, it didn't seem to me like there were few people. Like, not significantly less than after we did the watchalong, at least. Activity in general has sort of fizzled out though, not just in the chat but also on the comm.... it's kind of sad. I too miss this comradely spirit (nice word there), sort of...
As for the watchalongs, I'll do my best to join in! <3 What've you guys planned, stuff like Exile?
Re:meet-up - OMG YES HAHAHAHAHAH <3333333333333 let's do all sorts of stuff like that, please!!! Like like, welcome-signs, and give everyone some sort of name plate or something XDD
Ahaha, maybe I should get some more of those 'Beer o'clock, Raymundo!' pins I found online that Ian from work and I wear when we go to the bar after our shift! XDDDD
Yeah, activity has fizzled and it's difficult to pinpoint why. I think we need to keep organizing more activities around the comm (like the ficathon, watchalongs, advent calendar, icon challenges and all of that) so that we all get to share and participate together-- I've also been thinking it might not be a bad idea to do a bit of recruiting on Tumblr, for chat/watchalong attendees at the very least.
Following along the same line of thought, perhaps there are people out there who have works to share but aren't aware that the comm is active... there are so few of us left that are around regularly, it can certainly be a bit discouraging. I want things to be all peppy and creative and full of LoM goodness! :D
